First, it\u2019s the refreshed Mac Mini and Mac Studio, as well as the new M6 and M5 Ultra chips. Apple is advertising them all as achievements in AI inference, but we\u2019re skeptical this is more than a marketing ploy for now. Then we get into the newly announced Apple event, why we\u2019re not expecting to see an iPhone 18, and whether the folding phone form factor is really good enough yet for Apple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">After that, there\u2019s a lot to discuss about the Meta settlement. Teens are getting a host of new restrictions on their accounts that, truthfully, a lot of adults would love to have, too. But the bigger question is what happens next: Will other platforms be forced to adopt these rules, too? And which rules could actually be implemented by law, should lawmakers ever get their act together? The settlement has a lot of terms that immediately run into the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Finally, we\u2019ve got a packed closing segment: The Hype Desk returns to talk <em>GTA VI<\/em> and whether it\u2019s going to make us all more responsible individuals, Nilay breaks down how FCC chairman Brendan Carr has infuriated librarians nationwide, and we close out with a Lightning Round on whether Nvidia has saved the US economy, why Fitbit is partnering with Pok\u00e9mon, and why Waymo is starting to beef with Tesla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">If you\u2019re interested in reading more about the stories we discussed, check out the links below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/podcast\/986145\/m6-mac-mini-meta-settlement-gta-6-vergecast\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know the person blocking your view of the concert because their phone is swaying in the air, recording the entire thing?
